BACKROUND OF THE INVENTION

The field of endeavor to which this invention pertains is that of the nylon industry. At present the nylon industry does not offer what this invention is basically achieving and offering. The idea of this garment and associated garments was as a direct result of wearing fancy gem and basic sandals that rubbed and blistered toes and fingers on individuals even while wearing proper shoe sizes. Due to inclement whether, one is unable to wear open toe shoes or sandals along with fashionable attire as one would desire, regardless of the time of year. This nylon has been designed and featured into two (2) sections separating the big toe from the remaining fingers making it possible to wear sandals of any kind.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This nylon has been designed and featured into two (2) sections separating the big toe from the remaining fingers making it possible to wear sandals of any kind.

Sandal hosiery is not only fashionable but it warms and eliminates the discomfort of frozen and irritated feet. Further studies show some individuals having vericol veins, crow's feet or feet not manicured as well as other possible medical reasons that may benefit from this type of nylon support hosiery.

In order to provide individuals with the ability to wear sandals with a variety of colors and support as well as custom fitted nylons where they may not otherwise be able to do so, I am offering one of the following solutions:

1. Newly designed Ankle High Support sandal Nylons: comes in various ankle sizes, colors and thread content. Used comfortably for individuals preferring not to wear other style nylons or with a limited ability due to medical or other conditions. In all colors and materials.

2. Knee High Support sandal Nylons: comes in various Knee support sizes, colors and thread content. Used comfortably for individuals preferring this style. In all colors and materials.

3. Panty Support sandal Nylons: comes in various panty support sizes, colors and thread content. Can vary due to weight or support desired. Can be made available in all sizes, all weights, all colors and materials.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

FIG. 1A—This figure one describe the separation of the big toe from remaining toes utilizing the new sandal nylon style and how the toes would split.

FIG. 1B—This figure describes the same separation as FIG. 1 with the only difference being that the nylon is designed to reach up to a persons thigh.

FIG. 1C—This figure indicates how the nylon would viewed if worn as a full panty hose with a sandal foot style split.

FIG. 1D—This figure is the same structure and usage as the previously mentioned but addresses the ankle high design utilizing the sandal style.

FIG. 1E—This figure is also the same structure and usage as the previously mentioned drawing but addresses the knee high design utilizing the sandal style.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Elegant, sheer and comfortable rights (or pantyhose as they are known in the US) are now taken for granted, however it was only in the 1960's that “nylons” became widely available. For the previous 400 years stockings had ruled supreme—ever since the knitting machine was invented in 1589 by Reverend William Lee and stockings made from wool, silk and cotton appeared for the first time. These early stockings were frequently referred to as hose, from which the term “hosiery” was derived, and were generally worn by men.

The stockings market was revolutionised by the change of fashions in the 20th century when it became socially acceptable for women to show their legs, and with the invention of nylon in the 1930's, an affordable alternative to silk stockings became available.

In 1935, Julian Hill, working with a team led by Wallace Carothers, discovered that by pulling a heated rod from a mixture of coal tar, water and alcohol a strong, sheer filament formed that was silk-like in appearance. From this several sizes, pounds and Tensile strenghts were derived.

Two years later the process was patented by DuPont, and in 1939 the new synthetic fibre—Nylon—was shown at the world Trade Fair in New Yoir; The New York from New York, providing the first two letters of the name nylon.

The first nylon stockings appeared in New Your stores and on May 15, 1940 over 780,000 pairs were sold in the first day alone.

In the first year, 64 million pairs were sold in the US, and nylons so became the generic name for all hosiery products containing nylon.

At the time that nylon was invented, only stockings existed. These traditional stockings were known as “Fully Fashioned” in that they were fashionable shaped on the leg as nylon did not stretch. For this reason they came in a number of sizes. These traditional stockings were knitted flat and the sides were joined manually by hand with a fine seam up the back.

In the late 1950's yarn manufacturers discovered that they could add stretch to nylon by criping it under heat, then in 1959 DuPont invented Lycra which can stretch up to seven time it original length without breaking and subsequently recover it's shape, thus dramatically improving th fit and comfort of hosiery as well as it's strenght and offering a variety of standard sizes.

(Please refer to attachment #3) This nylon design has been designed and featured into two (2) sections separating the big toe from the remaining fingers making it possible to wear sandals of any kind.

In order to provide individuals with the ability to wear sandals with a variety of colors and support as well as custom fitted nylons where they may not otherwise be able to do so, I am offering one of the following solutions:

1. Newly designed Ankle High support Sandal Nylons: comes in various ankle sizes, colors and thread content. Used comfortably for individuals preferring not to wear other style nylons or with a limited ability due to medical or other conditions. In all colors and materials.

2. Knee High support Sandal Nylons: Comes in various Knee support sizes, colors and thread content. Used comfortably for individuals preferring this style. In all colors and materials.

3. Panty Support sandal Nylons: Comes in various panty support sizes, colors and thread content. Can vary due to weight or support desired. Can be made available in all sizes, all weights, all colors and materials.

4. Thigh High support Sandal Nylons: Comes in various thigh high support sizes, colors and thread content. Have several designs as well as back of the leg seam and support will vary to the desire of the individual. Can be made available in all sizes, all weights, all colors and all materials.

(All machine washable in cold water with like colors. Non-chlorine bleaches only. Tumble dry low or hang dry)

In addition, within the medical field of Podiatry or for persons working in an establishment were they need more support for their feet, the elderly and others, the thread count can be increased for durability and support in the nylons they wear for added support. The manufacturer will be approached to produce various thread counts to satisfy use for patients who have fallen into a medical category for wearing nylons or be worn in before or after a surgical procedure in a constant manner.

The versatility of this design will not only provide a more visible, sensual, attractive look and feel, but also provide the comfort, support and assurance one needs in today's work or social gatherings. 

1. This claim originated from the already existing nylon products presently being offered through various nylon manufactures today. The manufacturing process of the material, material content and assembly are virtually identical however where they differ is in the specification of this special and unique design. This nylon has been designed and featured into two (2) sections separating the big toe from the remaining fingers making it possible to wear sandals of any kind. This newly added dimension to the already existing nylon would allow users of different style sandal shoes to comfortably wear nylons of all existing shapes and sizes. This claim applies to all sizes, colors, shapes and materials used in the manufacturing of this design and style of hosiery. The idea of this unique nylon and associated specification was as a direct result of wearing basic sandals that rubbed and blistered toes and fingers as well as those individuals even while wearing proper sandal shoe sizes. Due to inclement whether. One is unable to wear sandals along with fashionable attire as one would desire, regardless of the time of year.
